Pre-employment screening at this large retailer typically involves urinalysis. This method detects the presence of illicit substances and prescription medications that may impair an individual’s ability to perform job duties safely and effectively. A urine sample is collected and analyzed in a laboratory setting to determine if any prohibited substances are present above established cutoff levels.
The use of drug testing serves several important purposes. It promotes a safe working environment for both employees and customers by deterring substance abuse. Furthermore, it mitigates potential risks associated with accidents and injuries that could result from impaired judgment or reaction time. Historically, such screening has been implemented to reduce liability and maintain a productive workforce.
